Melekh

a personal prayer, more-or-less

My King, I kneel before You
humbled as can be.
I offer You my sacrifice
of all You've given me.

I cannot give You treasure,
for I do not have it to give,
but instead I will devote to You
the way in which I live.

I cast to You my earthly crowns;
I lay them at Your feet.
I bow my head before You
and I admit to You, defeat.

No longer will I live for me;
it is You I choose to serve.
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done
Your name I will preserve.

When I go into battle,
Your banner will I fly.
I will fight this war for You
and my sword I will hold high.

Before, I have forsaken Thee,
but I've come back to You at last.
My Lord, I do apologize.
Please keep me in your grasp.

My King, My Lord, You are my All
My strength You do provide,
And I choose to spend eternity
forever by Your side.
